The answer lies underground. After fighting the demons underground last time, I thought that I was really ignorant of the underworld, so I put a lot of clones into the underground.
There were really many things in the basement that I hadn’t seen before. Although I never saw a guy like the ruler of the underground again, there were so many different veins and rare materials deep underground.
I didn’t really need things like mineral veins because I didn’t have enough money, but I also collected rare minerals and handed them over to Setas’ research.
And what I’m going to take now is, of course, poison. There are many toxic substances underground. Mineral poisons that exist as minerals are not easy to use, but can be obtained in larger quantities than those generally collected from plants or animals.
The mineral poison I’m trying to collect is a guy called Aeromythin. It is a rare mineral and poison that is extremely difficult to see on the ground.
This is because it vaporizes the moment it comes in contact with air. Despite being extremely rare on the ground due to such characteristics, there are several examples of this guy being used in history books to see how well the human brain works for the bad side.
Of course, it is an incredibly rare material and so expensive that it was mostly used to assassinate high-ranking nobles or royalty. A very small amount of aeromytin is planted inside something like a necklace or ring, and it is slowly vaporized and expelled.
The victim wears the valuables he received as a gift and unknowingly poisons himself to death.
Such a precious material is buried underground in very large quantities at the point I found. Of course, ordinary people can’t go there and it’s hard to mine, but it’s relatively easy for me.
Aero Myteen mined a lot and returned to the sub-space. And I started experimenting in a place where no one was around.
It was said that trace amounts were used in the history books, but this was because there was no clue as to how large a range it could attack with a certain amount.
It is meaningless if you blindly throw a large amount and the effect is so great that even nearby allies are affected.
After experimenting a few times with a small amount, I got a rough idea and immediately put it into practice. First, check the wind direction. The wind was blowing westward. The Western Defense Army was pushing the enemy to the vicinity of the dimensional hole, so if you use it in this state, there is a possibility that the army of the Propene Empire guarding the western side will be involved.
I went to Argin. Currently, the Propene Imperial Army is completely dependent on Argin.
When I appeared next to Argin, who was resting at the military camp, the young orderly who was holding Argin’s hand in the camp was startled and tried to scream.
“Okay. He is an ally.”
When Argyn raised his hand to restrain him, the young orderly did not shout, but bowed his head in greeting, then moved cautiously but swiftly out of the room. Perhaps it is to report to a superior. There was no need to talk to Duke Itebal, commander of the Profen Imperial Army, anyway.
“That kid is also very talented.”
At first glance, he is a fairly well-educated child of an aristocratic family. And he’s a really talented kid. Perhaps the most outstanding child among the sons of nobles who served here was assigned as Argin’s orderly. If you like it and become the second disciple after Shark, it’s great luck.
Despite this situation, many people’s thoughts and interests were intersecting even in a small place that was not a big deal.
“It is. He’s a good kid. I can’t send them to my parents’ house, though.”
“Because he is the nephew of Duke Itebal?”
“Did you know?”
“I know everything except what I don’t know.”
“My lord always did.”
I sat down and waited for Duke Itebal. Not long after, Duke Itebal, who still had the afterglow of the battle, walked through the door of Argin’s barracks and entered.
There was no way they would recognize my face, so I got up first and introduced myself.
“My name is St. Germain Akasha. He is the second saint of the Divinity Church and the Count of the Aether Empire.”
“Lyson Itebal. Duke of the Propene Empire and current military commander. It is an honor to meet the second saint of great prestige on the continent.”
Fortunately, Duke Itebal seemed to have heard my name. Duke Itebal welcomed me. In fact, Argin has become so famous these days, but it’s not a reputation that I can go anywhere.
“I came here because I have something to ask for the understanding of Duke Itebal.”
“Could it be that you are taking Argin-ball back?”
Duke Itebal’s pupils shook. If Argin and Shark are missing right now, this wire cannot be maintained. That would mean the destruction of the Propene Empire soon.
“No, it’s not like that. Don’t worry, I’m a saint after all. I don’t do anything outrageous like that.”
Duke Itebal put on a relieved expression at once. Originally, he wasn’t like that, but now he’s really changing his emotions.
“Then why did you suddenly visit? Rather, how did you get here?”
I heard from your nephew that he suddenly appeared out of thin air? The word seemed to have been swallowed inside.
“I took the corpses of those monsters and asked an expert to analyze them, and the result came out that the enemies were weak to poison. I want to try poison.”
“It’s not that difficult. If you hand me the poison, we’ll spray it.”
“It is a poison that cannot be passed. I am the only one who can use it.”
“What is it?”
Duke Itebal made an expression of incomprehension. It’s a strange thing to understand at once.
“Did such a study result come out?”
“Yes, Antariel suffered a bit.”
“That is good news.”
Argin smiled faintly. No matter how transcendent he is and how he takes turns dealing with enemies, it is inevitable that he will be exhausted.
“Isn’t that the opposite?”
“What do you mean?”
“If I stay like this for a while, won’t I be able to climb over the wall one more time?”
It seemed that way to me, but Argin shook his hand.
“That’s not what you think. They say you have to let go of your greed, but it’s not easy because I’m still lacking in discipline.”
Let go of greed. As an unmanned person, he could get over the wall, but that seemed necessary. In that respect, I am absolutely impossible. ‘Cause I’m very greedy
“From what I hear, I know the two of you are very close, but the Duke of Tempest isn’t worried that the saint is holding poison and dealing with those monsters himself?”
Duke Itebal, who was quietly listening to our story and organizing his thoughts, stepped out with a word. Argin replied with a smile.
“Who cares about whom? You are much stronger than me.”
Duke Itebal’s face was stained with astonishment. What was surprising was that Duke Itebal believed Argin’s words exactly as they were said.
“I plan to release the poison near the hole where the enemy jumps out, but since the wind is westerly, the poison may spread to the camp of the Propene Empire. So, I would like you to withdraw from the military camp a little.”
Whether Prince Itebal was surprised or not, I told my business.
“It is natural. If that’s the case, I’d like to cooperate. But may I ask you one thing?”
“Ask me. If there is anything I can answer, I will.”
“Are there any other figures similar to the Duke of Tempest, the Undefeated Knight, and the saint in the Aether Empire?”
I thought for a moment. The question is where to set the standard.
“There are about two more people who are stronger than the Duke of Tempest.”
“Oh, Lord Junon, my God.”
Duke Itebal couldn’t close his open mouth. It was unclear exactly what Duke Itebal was thinking, but he was clearly out of his mind. I lightly used the power of healing.
Duke Itebal, who came to his senses, noticed his rudeness and apologized repeatedly, then immediately went outside and called his staff and began preparing to turn the camp back.
In the meantime, Shaq and Argin took turns. The shark that came back didn’t look like it had fought at all. Thousands must have been cut, but there was not a single drop of blood on the clothes.
“You seem to have grown more?”
Even though he didn’t cross the wall or rise in rank, Shaq had grown. It felt like the level I had already attained had matured more. It seems that the level has risen so quickly. It’s like me who knows a lot of things in the world. Knowing something and experiencing it yourself and putting it into practice are two different things. Rather, it felt like this situation was helping Shark grow.
“Thanks to the Count.”
There is also Nucksal, which is said to be a public official. But what can I do, I don’t know if I can get rid of the stage to grow with poison.
“I’m going to use poison near that hole.”
“Will the poison work on them?”
I don’t like to repeat the same explanation multiple times, but I gave Shaq a brief explanation of the operation.
“By the way.”
“huh?”
“They are learning.”
“What are you talking about?”
What Shaq said was not very important. No, those monsters obviously have brains, and they weren’t even the most stupid individuals I’ve seen so far, so they might have the ability to learn, but what Shark is saying doesn’t mean that.
“It feels like I understand Master’s attack method little by little. There is also a feeling of intentionally avoiding us.”
“therefore. You mean what the dead guys learned in front of you applies to those who jump out behind you?”
“Yes, it feels like that. No, that’s for sure.”
I’m about to get a headache. If this is the case, things will be different. You will need to reexamine your tactics and strategies to deal with your enemies in the future.
If you use the poison this time, the next one that pops out will become defensive or resistant to the poison. Utuka’s henchmen were still weak, so he seemed to think too poorly. However, you cannot avoid using the method already prepared.
“Thanks, that was good information.”
I crossed over to the East Continent using the time I had been empty for a while. The opposing faction must also speak.
It couldn’t be done as if it suddenly appeared next to Argin, so he appeared near the military camp where the cores were gathered, revealed his identity, and asked to meet Anger.
Face-to-face was easier than expected. It was because the sentry who first discovered me belonged to the Temple Knights.
I met a key figure in the East Continent camp with Angour at the forefront. The hero of the turbulent times who can be said to be the head of the people gathered here
It was Impellas, the emperor of the Hughes Empire. His natural talent was great, but he was a talented person who showed more ability than that.
Impellas greeted me casually, like someone I knew. We exchanged the information we had learned so far and discussed the strategy we were going to do.
“I didn’t expect the second saint to be working so hard.”
Impelas seemed like a very nice person, but like most kings and emperors, he had a very dark inside.
But, ironically, William, who founded the Aether Empire and made Aether the strongest country in the Western Continent, and who created the castle today, said it was because of my help, but they are very bright spirits for an emperor.
From noble mtl dot com.
“I just did what I could.”
“The majority are those who can’t even do that. You are very good.”
He seems to be saying that with all his heart, but this is his trick. he’s never been nice He is a very ambitious person wearing the mask of a good person.
But it doesn’t matter. Even if your ambition is big and your heart is dark, it doesn’t matter if it’s in a direction that helps the world.
Right now, the Eastern Continent Allied Forces, even if they were the best elite sent from each country, were gathered from dozens of powers, so their organizational power was poor.
It was Impellas who created the current situation with great affinity and leadership for such an army like grains of sand.
“If things go according to my plan, the monsters will be held back for a while.”
“For a while… is it?”
“That’s right. I think it’s just buying time.”
Either adapt to the poison or a stronger individual will emerge. This is the natural order.
“I have something for you to do during that time.”
“I will do anything for you, my son.”
“We need heroes.”
Impellas’ expression subtly changed. The East Continent Allied Forces must have thought that only one hero would be enough. It was such an easy read. He’s capable enough, but he’s too young to deal with me. no am i too old?
In the meantime, many talented people were born and raised in the world. And there were still many talented people hiding in the East Continent. It’s time to get them out of the world.
I immediately started writing down on a piece of paper a list of their names, their current position, and their abilities.
This is an award for Impellas who has led the East Continent Alliance well, and it is also a bribe to ask for good wishes in the future.
Seeing the paper I handed over, Impellas’ face was filled with a fishy joy that he couldn’t hide. He would have dreamed of putting the talented people written there under his command.
Looking to the side, Angour just smiled and nodded. Angour is not stupid either. He must have watched Impellas’s ambitions and his expression just now. But I was embracing everything in a different way. After all, the real saints are different.
“Please take care of them.”
“Is it possible? These are talented people who will be of great help to us.”
I said goodbye with a smile, and Impelas came out of the barracks and waved at me.
Upon returning, the Propen Imperial Army in the western direction had already left the military camp behind them for a long time.
“The preparations are complete.”
As soon as Duke Itebal found me, he reported as if he were to a superior.
“Then shall we begin?”
The time has come to give a blow to those who crawl out of their holes like cockroaches.
